Construction on a 30-foot border wall starts at Friendship Park

If you visited Friendship Park Tuesday, you would find construction workers, bulldozers and even a section of the new barrier.
They broke ground on a plan to build a 30-foot wall that will replace the current fence and potentially block access for visitors.
“30 foot border walls are not needed at the park, they will completely decimate the park,” said Pedro Rios, a local activist who is part of the Friends of Friendship Park.
Customs and Border Protection say a wall replacement is needed since the primary and secondary barrier has been deteriorating and poses a threat to border patrol agents and immigrants.
Local activists have warned CBP officials of the dangers of a new wall.
Last year, UC San Diego doctors and researchers reported about 375 people were treated for injuries from 2019 through 2021.
On Wednesday border patrol agents found the body of a man within the border field state park.
